THE PACKING BUSINESS.
What Portland Firms Have Been
Doing the Past Year.
A Very Large Increase In the Total
Pack Reported.
An Industry of Immense Value to
Maine Farmers.

The packing season for 1887 is closed, and
the PRESS this morning is enabled to place
before its readers complete statement of
the pack made by the Portland firms during
the year. 1t will be seen by their statements
that the pack has been more abundant than
usual, and In some instances it has been
phenomenal. As a whole the increase will
be % per cent in corn. The quality Of the
corn is excellent AMI it is in great demand
especially throughout the West and South
The amount of acreage employed in corn
raising throughout the State is 10000 acres,
or 20 square miles, and the product of this
vast field is used in about so factories. II
will be seen that its canning has become one
Of the greatest If not the greatest Maine in
dustry. The pack of Holsters commands a
great demand abroad, and Maine Holsters
are as much appreciated there as at home.
But it is unnecessary to dwell further on this
theme. The gentlemen whose names follow
tell the story better than we can.

The present company was organized in the
spring OF 1882, and has been under its pres
ent management the past six years. In con-

goods of large number of outside factories.
operated on contract
The total sales of corn made by this COM
pany the past year were the largest, said the
General, ever made by any corn packing con-
Germ, amounting to upwards of 203,Oe cases,
or 4,S72O00 cans. In addition to this, the
sales of succotash are upwards of 5000 cases,
and OF Lima beans upwards of $500 cases,
making total Of corn, succotash and Lima
beans of upwards of 214,500 cases, or over
five million cans.

Boston and Maine.

Boston and Maine stock has fallen back
to 217. This company has advanced to the
Eastern 100000 for payment of the loan
made last year for the sinking fund. The
total amount that will go to the Eastern
road this year will be sufficient to pay about
6per cent, but if 100000 for sinking fund
is taken out instead of borrowing as last
year only about per cent. or less will be
left. There is difference of opinion
among the directors as to pursuing the policy
of last year and borrow 100000 so as to al
low of payment of dividend. Conservative
opinion in the board is opposed to il.

| In regard to the Snowflake this is claimed
to be the highest point ever reached by a
new brand in its third year.
The Winslow Packing Company packs a
large amount Of corn for dealers at various
points to be put under their own labels.
One-half of the company's pack of corn
sells at S1.25 per doz., and the other half at
$l.10. The total sales of the present. year
for corn, succotash and Lima beans
amounted to upwards Of half million of
dollars. Besides the corn pack the company
has fairly large sales of lobster, SQUASH.
mackerel, pumpkin and apple During the
past three years the Globe and Snowflake
baked beans have been pushed forward rap
idly in the market. Although the quality of
Maine corn has not been as good as it was in
1885, which was a phenomenal year. still the
season of 1887 has been a good year.
1t is claimed by the packers, and admitted
by the farmers generally, who raise corn,
that no branch of farming pays as well.
The farmers get good pay for their crop of
| corn and have left valuable crop of corn
fodder, worth $40 an acre. As to the variety
OF help employed, no business can show
such a record, as corn factory gives en-
ployment to farmers, mechanics, laborers.
and even small children of both sexes. The
entire sales of Maine corn for the present
year, cannot fall below two and one-half to
three millions of dollars, CT which
large sum of money at least so per cent.
remains in the State of Maine, the
only expenditures outside being for
tin, solder and labels. Nearly all the
leading factories are fitted up with
improved machinery so that the entire pro-
cess from husking to the filling of the cans,
can be done with but very few skilled opera
tives. A new impetus has been given to the
economy of the process by the corn filler
manufactured by Mr.. r. o. Conant of this
city. To supply the corn handled by this
company requires upwards of 1000 farmers.
and gives employment doing the packing sea-
son to not less than 1000 men, women and
children, directly, besides the work to farm
ers. In addition to all the foregoing the
making of the cans would equal the labor of
one man for 5000 days, but as can making is
not pursued all 1.-THE year, there is labor for
fifty men for about six months in this de-
partment
